[Verse 1] I walk where the firs lean low Boots in the mud, and the moon hangs slow A crow in the branches says my name Three black stones at the edge of the rain [Pre-Chorus] I fold my hands I draw the line Moss on my tongue Ash in the pine [Chorus] Moss and bone, moss and bone I call you back to the hollow home Moss and bone, moss and bone Sleep, sleep deep in the roots below [Verse 2] I read the bark with a candle stub Your old words float in the cedar blood Fern by fern, I make the sign Hush, little shadow, you are mine [Pre-Chorus] I twist the thread I spit the salt The foxgloves bow The dead come out [Chorus] Moss and bone, moss and bone I call you back to the hollow home Moss and bone, moss and bone Sleep, sleep deep in the roots below [Bridge] If you hear me Answer low Through the briars Through the snow I leave a path With broken light To lead your name Out of the night [Chorus] Moss and bone, moss and bone I call you back to the hollow home Moss and bone, moss and bone Sleep, sleep deep in the roots below
